Oh how I've missed the city over the last few weeks, it was wonderful to be out of the kitchen and strolling down
St. Georges Terrace on a warm sunny day! On the Terrace a glimpse of GH caretakers lodge (?) through the wrought iron,
'fleur-de-lis' tipped gate and below a peek at
Government House through the foliage.. built between 1859/64 it has a very
'colonial' feel to it don't you think?
Turning down onto
Barrack Street glimpses through to the festival in the Supreme Court Gardens....
Around the corner onto
Riverside Drive and the gated entrance to the gardens. If you click the link you'll see a view down Riverside Drive from the
Perth Convention Centre, this is the area most 'affected' by the Elizabeth Quay project! Oh, and while we were waiting to cross over to Barrack Street Jetty, we caught a right royal glimpse of
Prince Harry on his way to the SAS barracks at Swanbourne. I think his Mum would have been very proud of her two boys. More glimpses tomorrow. Have a wonderful Wednesday, take care.....
Such a fantastic building and grounds. The garden is gorgeous. I can see why you like to stroll around there. Saw ol' Prince Harry did you? Did you wave?
ReplyDeleteA nice place to stroll around and take beautiful pictures :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't been out and about since returning from my holiday so I know how you feel. GH is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGovernment House is much older than I thought it was by first glance.
ReplyDeleteI sense you feel free! :)) It sure looks like the weather is beautiful there right now.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely has a colonial feel. A lovely place!
ReplyDeleteThank you Grace, lovely pics, sweet reminders. Joy x
ReplyDeleteLovely lovely wanderings - and sweet freedom I'm sure! That first structure really has a colonial feel.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the stroll with you, Grace. If I lived in Perth, I would be happy with the caretaker's lodge.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a gorgeous place. And a glimpse of Prince Harry too! What more could you ask from a day in the city!
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing.
ReplyDeleteReally, Grace, can´t wait to see it all - so much must be new and different from my last visit, non?
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful day indeed. I like the entrance with iron gate and the beautiful stoned wall.Ahh the flowers are adorable!
ReplyDeleteLéia
Those palm trees in front of The Supreme Court look so lush. You sure you are not in Queensland Grace.
ReplyDeleteA great tour. A good historical insight offered here. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteVery British looking- a lovely stroll with you Grace.
ReplyDeleteA nice surrounding and a look at Harry?! You must have had your day.
